Zhang Liao was unstoppable and traveled back and forth in the Jingzhou army.

The more than 3,000 heavily armed cavalry that Liu Jian was equipped with before were all under the command of Zhang Liao!

This is also recognized by Zhao Yun.

That is, this time, Liu Jian wanted Zhang Liao to completely exert his talents through this battle.

Let the world see what kind of character he Zhang Wenyuan is.

Zhang Liao led an army under Lu Bu that year, which was not comparable to the same leisure, and his combat experience was extremely rich, especially in commanding the cavalry, which was comparable to Zhao Yun and others.

Now that the most elite 3,000 heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty have been handed over to him, it can be said that today's battle can be regarded as allowing Zhang Liao to completely exert himself.

Zhang Liao galloped wildly, wielding a war knife, and was majestic.

The Jingzhou soldiers who died in his hands can be described as countless.

Cai Mao couldn't hold on anymore, although the opponent's 8,000 cavalry was less than the number of more than 20,000 soldiers under him, but where the opponent's cavalry charged, the 20,000 cavalry under his command were killed and wounded, and they couldn't form an effective blow to the opponent at all.

When there is still some distance left, you can still use the power of the bow and crossbow and spear array to inflict some losses on the opponent.

Now, these cavalry have rushed into their own position, and the Jingzhou soldiers are like lambs to be slaughtered by them, powerless to fight back.

In this desperate situation, Cai Mao could only shout: "Don't fight anymore, withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly!" ”

It's not that he's a wreck, but that the current situation is the most realistic situation for him.

He is also a general who is proficient in battle formations all year round, although the scale of the battlefield is not particularly large, but the situation on the battlefield can still be seen, and the current situation brings him the intuitive feeling that these northern cavalry are invincible on this plain battlefield.

Although the Jingzhou army has a large number of people, it is like a mantis arm in front of the opponent's cavalry, and their combat power is useless at all.

The powerful heavy cavalry rushed through the Jingzhou army as if it were crushed.

The light cavalry that followed also came on horseback, attacking with spears, lances, swords, and crossbows.

The Jingzhou army was like a lamb in front of them, and these 8,000 horsemen were like 8,000 tigers galloping down from the mountains.

In the face of these lambs, slaughtering them can be said to be unusually simple, but also incredibly easy.

And Cai Mao has no way to reverse such a decline now.

The battle now is a gap in hard power.

Not to mention that Cai Mao is just a famous general in Jingzhou, even if he has the ability to defend Huo, in this situation, I am afraid that there is no way to make any waves.

Not only the ordinary soldiers of the Jingzhou army, but now even the general of the Jingzhou army, Sima, has not been spared under the offensive of these powerful cavalry.

Many of the lieutenants of the Jingzhou army, Sima, were killed by the galloping cavalry with short crossbows or spears, and they didn't even have time to call the pro-army guards.

Zhang Liao followed Zhao Yun's instructions, aiming at the other party's Daxu and galloping quickly, and where the other party's Daxu was located was where Cai Mao himself was.

Seeing that the opponent's most invincible and powerful cavalry was rushing towards him, Cai Mao began to tremble uncontrollably.

He and Lü Dai hurriedly beckoned their cavalry and escorted them as they rushed southward.

It's a pity that although they are all riding horses, the speed of Zhang Liao and the others is far above them!

Don't look at the horses ridden by Zhang Liao and the others are mostly wearing armor, but compared with the southern horses, the endurance, foot strength, and speed of the northern horses are far stronger than them, even in terms of carrying capacity, they are not comparable to the southern horses.

In this case, Zhang Liao quickly caught up with Cai Mao and Lu Dai and others.

Zhang Liao commanded his sergeants to carry out a fierce slaughter against Cai Mao and others behind their backs, and Zhang Liao himself was even more unstoppable, back and forth.

Soon, I saw Zhang Liao kill near Cai Mao, at this time Cai Mao was leading Lu Dai to run south together, Zhang Liao threw the war knife in his hand forward, stabbed Lu Dai in the back of the heart, and killed Lu Dai off the horse.

Subsequently, Zhang Liao led his troops to continue to chase Cai Mao, and the speed was extremely fast!

At this time, Cai Mao was extremely frightened, but there was no way to stop Zhang Liao, he galloped wildly, while constantly beckoning his subordinates to protect himself!

It's a pity that those cavalry in Jingzhou are still too busy to take care of themselves, and who has the ability to protect Cai Mao?

After a while, I saw Zhang Liao galloping behind Cai Mao!

"Where to go from the southern thief! Dismount and return to obedience! ”

Zhang Liao spoke with a standard Bingzhou accent, his words were very different from the accent of the Central Plains, although Cai Mao did not look back, but Zhang Liao's voice shouted, he scared his three souls and lost two souls, desperately beat the horsewhip, and galloped towards the front.

But the problem is that the speed of his war horse is far inferior to the speed of Zhang Liao's war horse.

Soon, Zhang Liao killed the cavalry behind Cai Mao, and then came to Cai Mao's side, he stretched out his hand, suddenly grabbed the cloak behind Cai Mao, and pulled it back.

Cai Mao felt a huge force suddenly coming from behind him, his neck was strangled, his body leaned back, and he was about to be dragged off the war horse!

In this moment of crisis, Cai Mao suddenly burst out with endless potential and strength.

He gritted his teeth, desperately continued to beat the horse, and then suddenly pulled his cloak hard, pulled his cloak out of Zhang Liao's hand, and then slammed the horse's belly vigorously, and continued to gallop towards the front like crazy.

When Zhang Liao saw Cai Mao who had escaped, he was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

"It's pretty good at running!"

After Zhang Liao laughed, he rode his horse again and continued to catch up with others.

Cai Maoshi was caught by Zhang Liao, and he was so frightened that he was scattered, and at this moment, he was beating the war horse like crazy, and the whip in his hand was whipped away.

Without the horsewhip, Cai Mao rushed to the front like crazy!

But it's a pity that even so, he still couldn't escape Zhang Liao's palm.

Zhang Liao chased after him at great speed, and once again reached out and grabbed Cai Mao's cloak.

After Zhang Liao grabbed his cloak, he continued to follow Cai Mao's side while pulling his cloak hard, Cai Mao's figure was crooked, and the strength of the cloak pulled his clothes back, making him unable to breathe, and his face was red.

Cai Mao gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and wanted to pull his cloak, but Zhang Liao didn't give him a chance, he reached out and took out his longbow hanging on the saddle, and shone the longbow on Cai Mao's head, and hit it with a bow.

"Smack!"

This bow goes down, and blood flies!

Other people's bows are used to shoot people, but Zhang Liao's bow is used to sharpen people.

The force of this bow was very heavy, and although Cai Mao was wearing a sash on his head, he was still dizzy from the beating, and the corners of his eyes and forehead were bleeding, and his face was bright red.

Cai Mao had no strength to resist now, he wailed in pain, and then was pulled hard by Zhang Liao, and fell from the horse to the ground like an eagle catching a chicken.

And none of the guards around him came to save him.

The more than 20,000 soldiers of the Jingzhou army were shocked by the cavalry that was enough to step on the mountains and rivers, and they could only take care of their own lives, but they didn't even care about the life of the commander.

In this battle, the cavalry team of Hebei completely played out their prestige and morale.

More than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers were beaten to pieces, and there was no room for resistance.

And Cai Mao was captured by Zhang Liaosheng.

Captain Lu Dai was stabbed to death by Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao can be said to have greatly increased his prestige this time.

Zhang Wenyuan's name, so far no one knows the Central Plains?

In particular, his heroic deeds of drawing the opponent's main general with a bow covered in blood have been widely spread.

……

Subsequently, Zhang Liao escorted the bodies of Cai Mao and Lü Dai back, and Zhao Yun ordered them to be sent to Liu Jian's camp outside Luoyang.

Lu Dai is a talent in the south, Zhang Liao beheaded this person, naturally he was credited with a great battle, but at the same time, he was able to capture Cai Mao, the main general of the enemy army, and this credit is really not small.

After all, Cai Mao has a very high status in Yuan Shao's army, and can be said to be the leader of the largest force among the warlords in Jingzhou when Yuan Shao formed the Jingzhou Army.

It stands to reason that a character like Cai Mao is captured alive, and there must be no good end.

It is very likely that someone else will directly behead him and sacrifice the flag, which will be used to boost the morale of the three armies.

But Liu Jian didn't do that.

On the contrary, Liu Jian actually treated Cai Mao very favorably.

After Cai Mao entered Liu Jian's camp, Liu Jian personally met him, and Cai Mao was bound and escorted to Liu Jian at that time.

Liu Jian was also like this, and he personally walked in front of Cai Mao at that time.

He cut the rope on Cai Mao's body with a sword, and then reprimanded his subordinates and said, "How can you be so rude to Xiangyang Cai Gong? ”

Then, he looked at Cai Mao with a smile and said: "General Cai, although you and I have not been masked for a long time, but there is a fact of in-law between each other. ”

After that, Liu Jian stretched out his hand and pointed at Cai Mao's face and said, "Take a look...... Who is so ruthless? This is for my wife and brother, and they are all out of the picture! Don't hurry up and find a military doctor to see! ”

Cai Mao didn't expect that Liu Jian would still recognize him as his wife and brother, and he was ashamed for a while, and his face was full of guilt.

"I have heard of the prime minister's high righteousness for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of the name, Mao and the prime minister are fighting, it is really like a mantis arm blocking the car, how can it be the prime minister's opponent? It's just that Mao, as a Jingzhou general, should serve Yuan Gong...... Please also ask the prime minister not to blame. ”

Liu Jian laughed and said, "You and I have an in-law relationship, how can I blame Yu Ling?" ”

"I have already arranged a banquet in the camp, let's have a good drink today, and we can also talk about family affection. Go with me in the account! ”

Subsequently, Liu Jian and Cai Mao entered the handsome tent and had a banquet together.

There is a good relationship between Cai Mao and Liu Jian, Liu Jian treats Cai Mao very kindly, and frequently advises him to drink during the banquet.

But Rao is like this, and Cai Mao is still not very down-to-earth in her heart.

He doesn't belong to his mind.

In the face of Liu Jian's persuasion, he just coped helplessly.

The smile on his face was also quite stiff.

Anyone could see that he was in a state of anxiety and uneasiness.

Liu Jian also seemed to see that Cai Mao's mood was not high at the moment.

He immediately smiled and said: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, you are my wife and brother, how can I harm each other?" After drinking this banquet, I will send someone to send you back to Jingzhou, so that you can return to your homeland, and Liu will never harm the lives of your relatives. ”

"And the soldiers who were captured alive with you in this battle, I should also send them back!"

Cai Mao couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this.

He looked at Liu Jian in surprise and said, "Prime Minister, is this true?" ”

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Naturally, it's serious!" As the prime minister of the imperial court, how can I deceive each other when I say nothing? ”

Cai Mao was relieved when she heard this, and her appetite immediately improved a lot.

He began to pick up the food on the table and chew it hard.

While eating, I was also grateful to Liu Jian

……

Liu Jian really did what he said, and he arranged for someone to send Cai back to Yuan Shao's camp.

Liu Jian acted like this, which made many people puzzled.

In particular, the generals under him didn't understand that Cai Mao, as the representative of the Wang clan in Jingzhou, was a very morale-boosting thing to take him, why did he send him directly back to Yuan Shao's camp?

Even if he and Liu Jian are as good as Qin and Jin, his sister is only a concubine of Liu Jian after all, and it was used by Yuan Shao and others to calculate Liu Jian's beauty plan.

Even if Liu Jian really plans to let Cai Mao go, he might as well use Cai Mao as a bargaining chip and use him to trade with Yuan Shao.

But Liu Jian didn't do that.

Everyone was puzzled by this matter, but the person who knew it was Guo Jia.

When Liu Jian hadn't seen Cai Mao yet, Guo Jia suggested to Liu Jian that Cai Mao must be treated well, and Cai Mao and Jingzhou's captives must be sent back to Yuan Shao as quickly as possible.

Guo Jia was born in Yingchuan, and he knows the character and heart of these Gaomen Valle clans very well.

On the surface, these people seem to be very reasonable and kind to others, and they are quite hostile, but in fact, their living environment has created their high self-esteem.

Most of them can't tolerate others being better than them, and at the same time, they can't tolerate others being able to gain more support from others than them.

Liu Jian sent Cai Mao and the prisoners of war back, which was tantamount to slapping Yuan Shao in the mouth.

Yuan Shao is now cultivating Cai Mao as a confidant, and he also thinks that there is no problem with this, but once Liu Jian shows kindness to Cai Mao, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no suspicion between Yuan Shao and Cai Mao.

Yuan Shao would even doubt Cai Mao in his heart and dislike Cai Mao.

After all, there is still some special relationship between Cai Mao and Liu Jian, that is, Cai Mao's sister is now Liu Jian's concubine, and she also gave birth to a son to Liu Jian.

And sending back so many prisoners at the same time is not only to show benevolence, but also to demonstrate to the Jingzhou army.

After these people returned to the barracks, they would definitely hype up the horror of the imperial cavalry, which further shook Yuan Shao's military morale.

This matter will definitely be buried in Yuan Shao's heart and become a thorn in his heart, and it is impossible to guarantee that Yuan Shao will do something irrational because of this.

Even if Yuan Shao and Cai Mao don't turn their faces, Liu Jian now shows such a powerful combat power, defeating 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and then sending the opponent's main general back unharmed, which is enough to show his kingly bearing, so that the major families in Jingzhou, as well as those generals in Jingzhou, can see what kind of person he Liu Deran is!

In this way, when Liu Jian goes south in the future, all local families will also have a consideration in their hearts.

They will understand in their hearts that Liu Jian is a benevolent and righteous person!

As long as he submits to Liu Jian, his family's life can be saved, after all, even Cai Mao, a general who fought with Liu Jian head-on, was released back by Liu Jian.

Therefore, releasing Cai Mao back is beneficial and harmless for Liu Jian to go south in the future.

What's more, Cai Mao is not a person with much ability, and for the imperial court, there is not much of a threat.

Liu Jian was deeply aware of Guo Jia's words, so he acted like this.
